Congrats!

[Jane]

I must take a break.

Speaking of this documentary and 1930s Germany, has anyone read this? I loved The Devil ion the White City.

I think it may be my favorite of his.  Now listening to his latest, The Demon of Unrest about the days leading up to the Civil war.

I'm waiting until later in the year to read this.

[Jane]

MichaelG, your father was a hero.

I agree that he is a hero.

[Jane]

I just had a long video chat with a friend who's father helped liberate Dachau.  She still has the photos that he took.  He told her that 60 miles before getting to the camp they could smell the burning bodies.

DR FREDDIE from the shenanigans I observed backstage at Wednesday night's rehearsal at a few of the cowboys and farmers have become very good friends.

I am thrilled for you. Congratulations!

[Jane]

MichaelG, your father was a hero.

No past tense please! He's still doing well, relaxing in Sarasota at 99 years old.

This is wonderful.

[Jane]

Good for your cousins.

She has her own nonprofit organization that makes documentary films about human rights issues:

I admire her for this.

I need to listen to some music. I’ve got the new recordings of Days of Wine and Roses, Gutenburg! and How to Dance in Ohio as well as the original Illinoise.

[John G.]

It’s 100 degrees outside and I’m making chicken stock. Go figure.

[Jane]

Do you plan to go outside in this heat or stay inside with the air on?

Another film about the camp liberation is 16 Photographs at Ohrdruf. This is about the camp my Dad helped liberate, the first one discovered by the U.S. Army. Seeing this film helped me identify which camp that was, and start to put together the larger story of his World War II service. His stories always ended in France. The film is about a similar process of discovery of a father's World War II service:

Wow.

MichaelG, your father was a hero.

Absolutely agreed.

We watched The Founder (2016), about Ray Kroc and the genesis of the McDonald's franchise.

Ray was not a very nice guy, if it happened as depicted.

[singdaw]

But his widow gave oodles of money to charities, so that part came to a good end.

[singdaw]

I had lunch today with the widow of August Wilson, who is a former neighbor of ours.

[singdaw]

She had lots of tea to spill.

[singdaw]

And now, I give you....     mosaic gelatin!

[Freddie]

She had lots of tea to spill.

Anything that we can assure you will be kept quiet among us - and the 53 anonymous Guests who are reading this board?

[singdaw]

It wasn't very practical. so eventually Medieval cathedrals resorted to using glass.

[singdaw]

I'm afraid I can't break the seal of the confessional.
